This beautiful pie plate is great for baking and serving your favorite pie or quiche. It is made one at a time on a potters wheel and fired to a temp of 2400F. This high temperture turns the clay into a very durable material called stoneware. Our pie plates are oven-proof , microwave and dishwasher safe and with proper care should last a lifetime. Never palce on a burner or in a preheated oven. Each item is hand made so color and size may vary slightly.
